We’re proud to share that Quokka was mentioned as a vendor offering mobile application security testing (AST) in the Gartner® report titled “How to Avoid Common Cybersecurity Pitfalls in Mobile App Development,” published July 16, 2025 by Dionisio Zumerle.
We believe that this recognition underscores Quokka’s continued commitment to securing the mobile application ecosystem through advanced analysis, testing, and risk intelligence.
Why Secure Mobile App Development Matters
According to Gartner, “Through 2030, mobile application security failures will be the biggest mobile threat for enterprises.” As mobile apps become core to operations, customer engagement, and transactions, security leaders face new and evolving risks that traditional web-focused security tools can’t adequately address.
According to the report, “This research highlights a three-step approach cybersecurity leaders should keep in mind to embed key cybersecurity principles in the planning, development and testing of their mobile applications.”
Gartner identifies Quokka as one of the vendors providing mobile application security testing (AST).
Our approach to mobile app security testing
Quokka offers an advanced mobile AST solution, Q-mast, that combines:
- Static, dynamic, and interactive analysis (SAST, DAST, IAST) tailored for mobile environments
- Real-time threat intelligence and behavioral analysis to detect malicious behavior and privacy violations
- Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation and library-level vulnerability scoring for supply chain visibility
Key benefits of Q-mast include that ability to:
- Test apps the way users actually use them – Dynamic testing simulates real user behavior to catch risks that code scanning misses
- Work with any app, even without source code – Test third-party components, vendor apps, and compiled binaries without needing developer access
- Get compliance reports that auditors accept – Ready-made documentation for OWASP, GDPR, and NIAP that maps directly to regulatory requirements
- Integrate without breaking your workflow – CI/CD integration that delivers security findings in your existing development process
